When John Madden Speaks, Game Designers Listen w/ Video

[Gotmadskillzson]

I just hope they don't axe game planning like they axed playmaker control you had many Madden ago, I think it was Madden 02 or Madden 04, where as if you rolled out with the QB you were able to point out a specifc WR and make him move to what ever spot you wanted him to go for you could throw the ball to him on the run.

That was the best feature Madden had and they axed it.

Priority of any sports game is to get the basics down of what ever sport your game suppose to be representing. This year all the other sports games have done this.......FIFA, NHL, 2k11, MLB The Show.

It is only the football games that so far this generation of gaming that hasn't done this yet. Because at the end of the day, it is football after all, so football basics should be priority number 1.

Online, MUT, etc should take a back seat.

It seems the one of priorities are Back Cover features instead of fixing what you have. NBA 2k11 made huge improvements in a one year cycle. Besides MJ, they worked on every mode they have without adding "it" feature. Having competition makes developers work towards having the game on the market. Madden havin no competition, is the only game on the market. So they are not forced to make drastic improvements. It is like "our way or the highway."

Actually, this is still in the game. Check your manual, I think it's L and R trigger pulled together.

I'm looking in the manual, it isn't in there.

It was taken out, I belive in 10. I know it was in 08 and 09, but you had to pull a trigger, like you said.

Whoops! I'm sorry, I swear I saw it in there where you pulled both the L and R triggers, then used the R stick. My bad, Gotmadskillz.
